Cold Raindrops Fall

Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge #16:    write a Tan Renga.

Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7).  Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two.  Poet One writes the  5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.

green leaves turn orange

~~~~~

green leaves turn orange
amid the colors we see
cold raindrops falling
seasonal winds shift through leaves
signaling start of the dance

      It is similar to a Tanka — both 5-7-5-7-7 — but this one takes two poets to complete! It is a fun challenge! You might try following the link to learn more; and better yet, participate!

      Thank you for your visit and feedback.
